    Different kind of retaliation

    LilPeanut replied to ZZTopRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If everyone else in the world is against you and spreading vicious lies about you, I would take a look in the mirror and see if maybe they aren't lying if perhaps you are the

    FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    LilPeanut replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    My biggest issues are that a) they are so afraid of lawsuits and things, they try to deny that adverse events are associated with it b) the schedule for vaxes was not developed with the highest...

    Re: Case Study_Need Help Please

    LilPeanut replied to amynahmed's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I know what he has! But, you need to be able to do your own homework. It's not going to do you any good if I answer your questions for you. Try and think of what disease processes can cause...

    Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    LilPeanut replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The problem with "getting the ped involved", is that most of them have very little training on nutrition and lactation. Many are 'schooled' by the beliefs they grew up with, that it's not uncommon...

    Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    LilPeanut replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think some of the concern is the quick assumption of fussiness=lactose intolerance/milk allergy and people switch to soy. Soy has phytoestrogens which are good for people to supplement in their...

    Almost fired today

    LilPeanut replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    I am willing to bet that some of the attitude you feel coming at you is from the attitude you are putting out there - You made a mistake. Own it, learn from it. Don't run from the hospital. Work...

    stinking of cigarette smoke

    LilPeanut replied to sisterfaye's topic in General Nursing

    You know, if I want to smoke pot, take 10 valium or shoot heroin in my own time, in my own home, what business is it of my employers that I do that, as long as I come to work sober?

    stinking of cigarette smoke

    LilPeanut replied to sisterfaye's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it just refers in general to anyone who smokes. Your addiction is not a protected group. When my eating a big mac gives YOU a coronary, then we can compare smoking and eating high fat food....

    Vet tech calling herself RN

    LilPeanut replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I think the point is that title protection has to be enforced at every level, because when you start letting it erode, it's harder to enforce where it really matters. If a CNA started calling...

    Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    LilPeanut replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what setting you are in. And all of your reasons why she should be able to continue, could just as easily be applied to a drug abuser, but most will agree that they are a potential...

    How useful would a Spanish major be?

    LilPeanut replied to hap2828's topic in General Nursing

    My first degree is in Spanish and international studies and everyone is excited at my hospital, because it's nice to have a staff member fluent in spanish. (now I just need to learn

    Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    LilPeanut replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    I actually never wanted to be a gymnast, but if I had, it wouldn't have mattered how much I trained at four years old, because unless I took some major medications to stunt my growth, my body type...

    People do have limitations on themselves. We should go with our strengths and our interests. There are other ways to accomplish caring in a hospital besides just

    Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    LilPeanut replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to be an olympic gymnast. Unfortunately, the fact I'm 5'8" and not athletically gifted stop me from that. I would love to be a professional pianist, but although I know how to play the...

    Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    LilPeanut replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to guess that it was for largely administrative and computer jobs though, correct? Many people who do have issues with either impairment or addiction do have valid RXs. Plus, there's a...

    Drug addicted nurses

    LilPeanut replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know A Million Little Pieces was presented as non-fiction, that's why I was pointing out that it was. It's fairly disgusting what that author has

    Drug addicted nurses

    LilPeanut replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just had to throw out there after reading this whole thread - A Million Little Pieces is a piece of fiction, as is the one after. Just to keep in mind :) On the issue itself, I am torn, but think...

    Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    LilPeanut replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    In my nursing school, we are required to be drug tested. I believe employers, especially ones that are in the health care field, are allowed to say they want sober employees. Whether the sobriety is...

    can nurses intubate?

    In my unit, only the docs and NNPs (and theoretically RT) intubate. I'm at a large lvl III nicu w/
